Trudeau wanted ranked ballots. Would that have changed Monday's results? (www.cbc.ca)

Ranked ballots could have given Liberals majority: prof

In 2025, Miljan says a ranked ballot may have helped the Liberals eke out a majority — the party landed at 169 seats, falling just three short of a majority government.

"I don't think it would have made a big difference, except probably in the few ridings where there were three-way splits, where you might have gotten a few more NDP seats and probably equally more Liberal seats," she said. "In that respect, you would have had a Liberal majority, most likely."

It would’ve been more disproportionate than the current results as the liberals only had 43.7% of the vote. They did not earn a majority.

Canada needs proportional representation to properly reflect the populace while making every vote count!

Here's a simulation of the different systems by Radio-Canada (in French)

Thanks for sharing that. This article would be good practice to read in french!

Firefox Translate works well enough on it too, but it uses the wrong pronouns on stuff like son aura a pâli should translate to its aura has turned pale, not his aura has turned pale since we're not talking about a person.
